Robert Palmer was the popular-music critic of the New York Times in the 1980s. He was also a musician in his own right, respected by the people he wrote about and able to hold his own with such musicians as Ornette Coleman and the Rolling Stones. He covered rock and blues and his study "Deep Blues" [1981] is still in print. "Blues and Chaos", an anthology of his writings revealed that the music closest to his heart came from the remote Moroccan village of Jajouka with its storied band the Master Musicians of Jajouka, who worship an ancient goat god. His daughter Augusta, who was abandoned by him as a baby, made a documentary about her father "The Hand of Fatima". Palmer led a troubled life, He struggled with drug addiction, was married four times [the marriage to Debra Rae Cohen was his third] and died of liver disease at the age of 52. [Information from the New York Times article on "The Hand of Fatima" dated November 15, 2009]. Good .
